This 1983 action game sees you playing as Chuck Norris – the infamous action hero of the 1970s – and it really is quite bad.

H.E.R.O., ColecoVision
The ColecoVision version of the classic rescue game, H.E.R.O., looks quite similar to the Commodore 64 version, in that: the graphics are a little rough around the edges.
Looping, ColecoVision
The ColecoVision conversion of Venture Line‘s Looping is much easier than the arcade original, which is a relief because the original is mind-bendingly hard.
Donkey Kong, ColecoVision
This ColecoVision conversion of Nintendo‘s classic Donkey Kong is famous for a number of reasons.
Boulder Dash, ColecoVision
The ColecoVision conversion of Boulder Dash is really quite wonderful. It was converted by Micro Lab and published on the Microfun label in 1984.
Spy Hunter, ColecoVision
Coleco‘s 1984 conversion of Bally Midway‘s classic Spy Hunter is a bit of a pale imitation of the arcade parent.
Graphically, it’s a little bland, but the scrolling is fast (I won’t say ‘smooth’, but it’s not jerky) and the sprites and backgrounds are colourful.
Gateway To Apshai, ColecoVision
Gateway To Apshai is sometimes described as a Roguelike RPG, but it doesn’t have randomly generated dungeons – they’re set, in number order, and there are a lot of them.
Super Cobra, ColecoVision
Like the MSX version of Super Cobra this 1983 ColecoVision conversion is also pretty flawed.
BurgerTime, ColecoVision
Mattel Electronics produced this ColecoVision console conversion of BurgerTime in 1984.
It is arguably the most authentic – and most impressive-looking – of the early console conversions of BurgerTime and it retains the vertical screen-style design of the arcade game levels (which is most welcome).
Pepper II, ColecoVision
Pepper II is one of the best games of the ColecoVision console, and a conversion of a 1982 arcade game, first released in 1983 by Exidy.
